For many Toronto Physiotherapy patients suffering from lower back and/or neck pain, Spinal Decompression may be the optimal form of non-surgical treatment. Some of the more common conditions for which Spinal Decompression may effectively be used include:- herniated disc
- bulging discs
- degenerative discs
- degenerative disc disease
- spinal stenosis
- sciatica
Symptoms from the above conditions can often cause extreme pain in the spine and nerves, and are often debilitating causing numbness in the legs and arms as well an acute sensation of pins and needles. The pain and sometimes associated weakness can prevent the performance of simple, everyday tasks.
Brad Saltz Physiotherapist at Ace Physio has been advocating Spinal Decompression for many years now after he saw that in many cases patients have been able to avoid surgery or years of suffering using Spinal Decompression.
Spinal Decompression works by providing a gentle distraction of the joints in the back or neck. “By opening up these joints we are able to relieve pressure on the nerves, discs and joints and allow the body to regenerate and heal naturally,” Saltz says.
Spinal Decompression is often confused with Traction treatment because of the similar modality used in the different treatments. Both treatments involve applying external pressure to stretch and pull the muscles in order to produce restorative and regenerative effects in the spinal structure. The main difference between Traction and Spinal Decompression is that Traction consists of the application of random, intermittent and pre-determined pressure on the spinal axis and Spinal Decompression applies an ever-adjusting pressure based on a sensitive computerized feedback throughout the treatment process. In Spinal Decompression, the application of pressure is continually modified in by the computer application as it responds to the unique muscular reaction of each individual patient. In this way, Spinal Decompression maximizes results and minimizes patient discomfort and pain. Varying the strength of the pressure also helps prevent a relapse of the condition and other complications, thus sustaining the benefits of the treatment for longer periods.
